Summary: installation failure for Win2K

Initial Comment:
Using all defaults for Install of build 201.

wxPython Demo works fine as do Idle and python from a 
DOS prompt - all are for Python 2.3.3.

I get this error:
Can't load Python for pre-install script

I don't have Admin permissions on this box, so maybe 
that confuses the installer ?

I reproduced this error on Build 201.1 under WinXP+SP1.  I
have admin permissions, and python directory is in path. 
Setup detects python entries in registry, then fails with
"Can't load Python for pre-install script".

Copying the setup program to the same directory as the
python executable circumvents this problem.

This appears to be more a distutils issue than ours. 
Unfortunately, I don't think distutils writes diagnostic
information anywhere, but it should, and I may add it.
